Good school, but definitely overpriced.

PLU is a really good school. Perhaps it's a little off the radar for people outside Washington state, but it has a good reputation, and you'll get a very good education. There is a lot of support for expanding this education beyond the classroom through internships, co-curriculars, research, and study abroad. That said, it is an expensive school, but it gives good scholarships.

There are SO many resources you are able to utilize at Pacific Lutheran University, partly because of the tuition we all pay. So yes, there is a HUGE band for your buck.

Although PLU seems very expensive and unaffordable to some, it is worth the money. There are also many scholarships that PLU gives out to students with financial need. Each day you learn so many new things that you may not learn anywhere else.
